The Rock Poster Society, Festival of Rock Posters 2018

Getting super excited for TRPS this coming Saturday 10 am to 6 pm! I’ll have rare posters, unreleased variants, test prints, recent art prints, very limited oak panels, blotter art, my new books and really cool surprises! See you there for an action-packed Saturday in the Park!

No denying, it’s a great time for my work: TRPS from 10 am to 6 pm; “Hi-Fructose Presents: The Art of the Mushroom” from 7 pm to 10 pm; and all the while my museum solo is running until December 9 at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. The best part is to share Saturday with so many good friends, and with so many inspiring artists. Please join us!

(Yes, there will be a couple of rare Pearl Jam Miami lava foils – shown above – so get in line early!)

Here’s a small taste of some of the goodies you will find at my booth at TRPS…

San Francisco’s annual Fall Clas­sic, the TRPS Fes­ti­val of Rock Posters is set to go for Sat­ur­day Octo­ber 20th, 2018 at the San Fran­cisco County Fair Build­ing (aka Hall of Flow­ers) in beau­ti­ful Golden Gate Park.

Fea­tur­ing rock poster artists and deal­ers from around the coun­try, this is the biggest rock poster event of its kind any­where. Those of you who have attended this show in the past know that this is the one not to miss. We bring in the best of the best, and you’ll find every­thing from vin­tage psy­che­delic trea­sures to the best of the mod­ern silkscreen move­ment. This year’s ver­sion promises to offer another stel­lar lineup.

The loca­tion is at the cor­ner of Ninth and Lin­coln on the South edge of the Park, not far from the Haight, the DeY­oung Museum, and the Acad­emy of Sci­ences. There are plenty of great restau­rants close by, too. Make it a week­end and bring the fam­ily to enjoy the great weather, an awe­some poster event, and every­thing else San Fran­cisco has to offer.

Festival of Rock Posters: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20 at the Hall of Flowers, Ninth Avenue and Lincoln Way, Golden Gate Park.
